Now with lots of builders going behind bars and unbailable warrant against Kabul Chawla not being quashed, I just hope that things improve quickly in terms of ethics.

Kabul never went to jail despite an unbailable warrent against him. He is still roaming free and holding strategic meetings on how to comprehensively loot the buyers, how to launch more paper projects and mop advance, how to delay, fraud and cheat the government by not paying the regulatory payments like EDC etc. and how to get the most notorious lawyers in his company for managing his criminal activities

And there are small time thieves who have been languishing in Tihar jail for years for small time thievery. Ironical but True. In India, if you really want to survive, you should either be filthy rich or below poverty line. In all other cases, there is nothing but struggle throughout.

All the builders have adopted this game and unless you get a possession and registry there could be something else that they can find to suck money out of you. 15-20% increase in the super area is the new standard now, but what could be done against the builders to bring these numbers in control?

I think this is a clear case of fraud, cheating and actually EXTORTION!!!
EXTORTION because they know that BBA is in favour of Builder and the buyer has no other option but to pay?? Is this not Extortion, which is a criminal offence.

Any increase in super area cannot be beyond logical % as we are dealing with measurable parameters and have deployed reputed architects and town planners. In an architects language, theory and dictionary, such huge abberations beyond 5% are representative of UNETHICAL PRACTICES.

Even govt charges COMPOSITION FEES beyond 5% ofpermissible FAR MAX. Beyond which there is no recourse.

It is purely upto DTCP to step in and ensure that the saleable area cannot vary more than a logical %. In all Mahindra projects the maximum +/- 5%. As I read somewhere, they actually refunded money as Super area was reduced by a few % points!!! THIS IS WHAT I CALL ETHICAL.

More than anything else, even if the BBA has been signed it does not give a free hand to the builder to increase the amount n no of times to any %. In the CCI judgement, any change has to be first confirmed with the buyers and not merely imposed on them.

In my opinion, this is a clear cut definciency on the part of the architectural planning department of Puri. This being in total control of the PURI management is therefore their own business loss as the buyer is getting no specific benefit for this additional payment. This can be checked by filing and RTI with DTCP to know of there has been any change in scope of building and site layout, in which case it has to be first approved by DTCP as per act. There are a lot of other technical points which can be discussed in a suitable forum.

Now what I am gonna tell you will be shocking than ever in this story. Company took bookings on built up area of 1243 sq ft. at Rs. 2,518/sq ft. which included BSP, EDC/IDC and parking, in short all inclusive (roughly Rs. 2350/sq ft BSP if we take out EDC/IDC and parking). Then they probably thought that they have made a mistake selling a project on built up area because that would leave them no scope for any cheating. While signing BBA they converted build up area to "super" built up area and added a clause that the company was free to increase the same by 20%.

In a reply to a recent email of mine when I asked why did they sell the project at such high price if it was not sold on built up area, the girl said that it was not possible for company to measure balconies, mumties, bullcrap etc etc so they were NOT INCLUDED AT ALL in the initial plan. Is this some kind of joke? They are twisting things here and there but are not accepting that the project was sold on built up area and not super built up area.

Mike, you are capable and I encourage you to make a group of atleast 6-7 investors in this project. It will not be difficult. All the investors fear to take the company head on because they think their unit will be cancelled . But no company can actually cancel. Legal action may take time, but the best thing that works here is media exposure

Everyone knows that Builders are ding EXTORTION in broad day light, including DTCP, Huda Admin, everyone.
And infact the authorities have the power to question and force them to comply. But no one does. Simply because they are involved too, they are getting bribes.

They have been discussing meetings, emails etc etc but when it came to court case, nobody is cooperating.

Lets us file the court case and let us share the e mails with contact nos...see if we r pro-active , we can unite and file the case at the earliest for cheating , fraud and deceipt

-PLC, IFMS, Monthly maintenance

The net resultant increase would be nearly 25%!!!

This should be immediately challenged in the court of law if earlier responses from other builders are an example. None of the builders gives the right reasons and evades any logical objective answer.

MIKE, if thinking of sticking to the payment then all you have to do is crib in your own private space else file a dozen RTI, build communication with the builder, get a few like minded people and move court based on inputs.

It is really a deplorable situation. All this is happening only because things are on the up and builders showing their greedy tendancies are trying to claim their pound of flesh any which way, legal or unethical.
